ui: introduce an experimental dict of exportable environment variables

Care needs to be taken to prevent leaking potentially sensitive environment
variables through hgweb, if template support for environment variables is to be
introduced.  There are a few ideas about the API for preventing accidental
leaking [1].  Option 3 seems best from the POV of not needing to configure
anything in the normal case.  I couldn't figure out how to do that, so guard it
with an experimental option for now.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

  http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
